PD CEN/TR 13387-3:2015CEN/TR 13387-3:2015 (E) 6 1 Scope This Technical Report provides guidance information on mechnical hazards that should be taken into consideration when developing safety standards for child use and care articles. In addition, these guideline
29、s can assist those with a general professional interest in child safety. 2 Mechanical hazards - Safety philosophy This clause addresses the most widely known mechanical hazards and is intended to provide guidance when drafting standards for child use and care articles. Anthropometric data and inform
30、ation on the abilities of children related to risks are given in Annex A of CEN/TR 13387-1:2015. When using these data for setting requirements, adequate safety margins should be considered. These data refer to static and not dynamic anthropometric data, therefore care should be taken if using these
31、 data for anything other than static situations when drafting standards. When drafting standards, conditions of use should be considered, bearing in mind the behaviour of children. Also, it is to be considered whether the child is attended or unattended when using the product and also the childs acc
32、ess to hazardous features. For each mechanical hazard a rationale is given, explaining the potential hazard to the child. Requirements, test equipment and test methods are also given. Where appropriate, these can be used when drafting standards. 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this docum
33、ent, the following terms and definitions related to mechanical hazards apply. 3.1 mechanical hazards physical factors which may give rise to injury due to the mechanical properties of products/product parts 3.2 reach envelopes age related physical data on the reach limits of the limbs of children in
34、 different postures, see 4.2 3.3 ageing change of properties of the material due to exposure to environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, UV radiation, cleaning agents etc 3.4 mechanical wear change of mechanical properties due to fatigue or repeated operation of devices, mechanisms and o
35、ther parts of the product 4 Accessibility of mechanical hazards 4.1 General Within the mechanical section no reference is made to specific areas of access, known as access zones. It would be wrong for this guidance document to specify exact areas of access as these should be determined in relation t
36、o the hazards and risks of individual products and risks when drafting the standard. As a general guidance to the types of contact associated with mechanical hazards, the following examples are given: PD CEN/TR 13387-3:2015CEN/TR 13387-3:2015 (E) 7 the hazardous part is in reach of the child from th
37、e intended position of use in particular by head, mouth, hands or feet and there is a high probability for frequent, intensive and/or prolonged contact. Requirements need to address this primary contact; the hazardous part may be reached by the child or any other child beyond the intended position o
38、f use. The product is considered to remain in its intended position(s). Access to hazardous parts is gained by passing/moving around the product or when proceeding to the intended position. The risk of harm deriving from frequent, intensive and/or pro-longed contact may be less probable; the hazardo
39、us part exists, but cannot be reached by any child. Irrespective of the access category, the reasonably foreseeable conditions of use should always be considered when designing childrens products and/or writing product standards. 4.2 Accessibility areas Information for determination of accessibility
40、 areas in connection with age group is given in Table 1 and Figure 1. These reach envelopes are based on a computer simulation, therefore the dimensions should be treated with care. If in the future experiments with children are undertaken, these figures in the table may be determined more accuratel
41、y.

44、mination of accessibility areas 4.3 Product information In order to ensure mechanical safety, the information for the carer should include appropriate instructions and warnings. For example: the need for restraint system and its adjustment; the opening and closing of products; the operation of safet
45、y locks for foldable parts; the method of attachment to fixed structures or to other products. Instructions should also inform the carer of the need to inspect the product regularly and also to use only replacement parts that are approved by the manufacturer/supplier.

47、ata (see Annex A of CEN/TR 13387-1:2015) of the growing child. It is important to take into account the intended age and/or development level of the child. As a priority, those parts of a product which are accessible when a child is using the product as foreseeable should be considered. It may also
48、be appropriate for gaps and openings beyond these accessible areas to be addressed. Gaps and openings which are inaccessible need not to be considered. However, V-shaped openings or V-shaped arrangements of structural members should be avoided. Important entrapment hazards are: entrapment of the nec
49、k in situations where the child is incapable of raising its body weight to relieve the pressure (e.g.: crawling child on the outside of play pen, V shapes, etc.); entrapment of the neck in situations where the child slips through a gap feet first (e.g.: child slipping between bars/slats); entrapment of fingers, which may cause loss of blood supply to the tips. If it is possible to position a child use and care article next to other furniture or a wall and create an entrapment hazard between them, an instruction should be inc
